"Academia: Staying Afloat" by Timothy Burke from the end of January made me feel warmer. It's about everything. AI slop. Fascism. Modern employment. Greed. The broad gesture at everything. Hope. Determination.

You are the right person to do what you do, know what you know, study what you’re going to study. You do it.

You are a lifeboat.

You are not the passenger being rescued from a shipwreck. You are the rescuer. Your skills, your knowledge, your experience reside in you. You have pulled them from the cold ocean where cruel and careless captains have set them adrift.

You are a lifeboat.

  • 2 big heads of Napa cabbage
  • 2 big bunches of green curly kale
  • 2 bunches of French breakfast radishes with their greens
  • 2 bunches of scallions
  • 8 heads of green garlic (no stalks)
  • 2 medium bags of mixed salad greens
  • 4 fennel
  • 6 zucchini/summer squashes (I chose large-ish ones, which were all zucchini, one golden)
  • 2 bunches of cilantro (swapped for more fennel and zucchini)
  • ”as much as you like” garlic scapes; I grabbed a small bag of them

First thoughts: roasted zucchini and fennel (perhaps with onion and lemon), topped with salmon towards the end of roasting. Fennel-zucchini-lemon relish, riffed from Food in Jars. Fennel-orange salad with salty olives. Stir fried Napa with scallions, garlic/scapes, ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and tofu. Ferment some Napa with garlic/scapes and scallions (sort of a not-as-spicy kimchi?). Kale salad with lemon-tahini dressing and sunflower seeds. Mashed potatoes with massaged kale. Salted radish on buttered bread as a snack? Some radishes, scapes, garlic, and kale stems as mixed pickle?

Dico me ver odisse, sed fallor, aut dimidiam veritatis partem neglego. Immo vero id puto et odiosum et necessarium. Finem hiemis fleo, et ver strictu sensu odi, sed hoc tempus in limine, quo hiems moriens inimico vere cedere frustra recusat, magnopere amo. Dies claros et calidos me celo, a malitia naturae renascente fugio.

Vespere autem revivisco. Non iam dies aestuosus, necdum frigida nox. Omnis motus omnisque gestus cutem sudore pungit, at consistans tremores patior. Crepusculum vernale longum, incertum tempus quo portae inferorum aperiunt, et lemures bonique malique in vento commoto volitant, ibi hora est, qua sentio caeca numina et voces Camenarum audio.

Hoc exscripto, aestas ferociter orta'st...

Farm share, week 2

  • 2 big bunches of broccolini
  • 2 bunches of red radishes with their greens
  • 2 bunches of Bright Lights Swiss chard
  • 1 pound of garlic scapes
  • 4 heads of lettuce (I chose a variety of colors and frillinesses)
  • 1 pound of mixed salad greens (swapped for more scapes, because while they looked nice, head lettuce will last longer, plus the weekly email suggested this was the last of the scapes)

First thoughts: pickled or pureed garlic scapes. Lots of green salad (I said I’d bring salad for Shabbat lunch, so that’s at least two heads of lettuce there; I’ll need to get things to go with, in addition to the radishes). Possibly some open-faced sandwiches with lettuce tops. Sauted chard with scapes, lemon, and walnut. Possibly use some of the broccolini greens in lieu of kale for a kale salad. Sauted broccolini and radish greens with scapes with some kind of pasta or rice.

eta: I’d planned to bring a kale salad for Shabbat lunch, but we didn’t get kale. I went back to look at the email sent out on Sunday, and it was pretty far off what actually came: he predicted kale and baby bok choy, instead of the radishes and broccolini that came.

oh noes
